1745 February 14 (Thursday). I rode to Mr. Solomon Rice’s, at Upton and preach’d there on Rom. 8.7. The Lord add his effectual Blessing! N.B. Molly went with me. We design’d to have gone by Mr. Eliezer Rice’s, but miss’d my way and went to Mr. Timothy Warrins — and they being at Dinner, we din’d there. But I rode up to Mr. Eliezer Rice’s because I had told him of my coming to his House to Day. When we return’d at Eve I visited Mr. Daniel Forbush’s wife who was confin’d and greatly distress’d, and Expecting (at her Time) much Danger and Difficulty as her Circumstances are. Was also at Lieutenant Tainters, and Molly not well, but we (through Divine Favour) got home safe.
